Cessna 421C for X-Plane – Kickoff – FlightSim Studio AG (flightsim-studio.com) @Alec just made me aware of some good News ! Interestingly FSS is the same MS / ASOBO Partner creating nice sceneries and AFAIK also involved in the soaring developments for MFS. It's really nice to see a 3pd being open-minded these days !

He should never stop making these videos!

When people think of Austin Meyer, they think of X-Plane. Some hate him for simply inventing X-Plane. Some just can't help insulting him or his work. (I've seen people call him "Autism Meyer" and call X-Plane 12 "x-periment 12"). But here's a few things people don't know, because Austin is not one to advertise. Patent trolls Austin Meyer took on patent trolls...and won. Patent trolling was an easy way to make money. Spend millions fighting the patent trolls, and risk losing, or settle out of court for $300 000. Austin took the riskier option. He took on the patent trolls, in the patent troll capital of the US (Texas) and won. This affects developers mor…

Makes me so happy (and very relieved) to see content like this starting to come out. No matter how little I believed the monotonous bellows of "xplane is dead" over the last 18 months, it really was voracious enough to instill an uncomfortable doubt. Coupled with the only YT videos being months old against the first early access and mainly focusing on things that were wrong with it. Doesn't really matter now if you believe they were motivated by competition, or just doing their normal day job, I can honestly say I did really not expect XP12 to be the huge generational leap it has ended up being. And omg, they are still just warming up....!! 100% default, ou…

Gday everyone.... Am very new to Sims and scripts as stated in previous messages.... I am using Xplane 12 with Air Manager, Flywithlau and Arduino Uno Cards along with a couple of LB Cards The Sim I am building is a Generic GA/C172SP simpit I have managed to work out some simple scripts for all the switches etc with flywithlau thanks to the help from here. however I cant get my head around a fuel issue script I found the below on the net which is exaclty what I am after to show the Low Fuel LED tank1 and Low Fuel LED Tank2 on the cessna. but I know the script is incomplete.. Am also after "Vacuum L and R" as well I have installed and tri…

My current machine is: i9 9900K 32 GB RAM RTX 2060 with 6GB VRAM Zibo and HotStart CL650 textures are blurry running XP12 with sliders mid-to-slightly less than full right. Tried backing off the sliders, no effect on texture quality. Still blurry. I'm considering an upgrade to either a: RTX 3060 12GB VRAM RTX 3060 Ti 8GB VRAM, or RTX 3070 8GB VRAM I also fly with MSFS 2020. I would like the biggest improvement for the dollar, not to exceed $600, and even that is a stretch. The upper 30x0 series and 40x0 series are out of reach right now. Not willing to spend that much. Which card gives the biggest bang for the buck bu…

Washington XP Part Number: Drzewiecki-Washington -------------------------------------------------- Does anyone know if this XP11 scenery (from the Org Store) will work in XP12? Thanks. -------------Ignore please. Finger trouble. Should have been in the XP section.

Hi, Can someone put into simple terms why I would see a GPU load of 98%, when I'm only using 8455MB on a card that has 24GB memory and a memory controller load of 14% in X-Plane 12? Thanks Mike

Hi folks I have just purchased Xplane 12 as I wanted to use the FlyJSim Q400 but the textures, no matter what I do with the graphics settings, or Nvidia Inspector settings, are unbelievably jagged and blurry, like being in some 1990s console game. Is this simply because the 1080Ti can’t cope? I have an otherwise high end system but I bought a 3090 GPU (I think it was, anyway), it was faulty, and I had to go back to the 1080Ti again. As MSFS runs perfectly fine and, visually, rather beautifully with it, I presumed I could do the same in Xplane 12 but have I just been too hasty? Thanks folks

just finished my first VR flight in x-plane 12, and now listen up: it was fantastic. Yes I know, who would have thought. I attribute that to the nicer clouds and OrbX's True Earth for Washington which I had forgotten I had bought last year before x-plane12, I tought it looked even better than MSFS, but I wasn't going to say that here, since that is trolling, as we know.😀 1) is there a way we can have separate settings for VR and for 2D flying like in other competing games? the reason I ask is because fps were down to a shocking low of 20 fps in VR down from 57 in 2D, until I remembered I had all in graphics settings on MAX which is a no-no for VR flying. 2) is t…

Hello guys! Ive had this issue where when i turn the APU bleed on engine 1 immediately starts and i don't know what the problem is ive updated The Zibo 737 download and Re-Downloaded Zibo 737 but it just did the same thing. Don't know if any of you guys have got or have this problem if anyone has got a fix for this please reply.

So Verticlesims scenery I am trying to install is for XP11 officially and Ive been told it should work with XP12 so its sat there in my XP12 custom scenery folder and no matter were I put it, top, bottom, middle the scenery isnt showing up, Ive had it below global airports, above Global airports, I have no mesh or Ortho installed at all.....all I get when i load in the sim is a big open space, ...what am I doing wrong? .....Same with KORF too....I have a bunch of Verticlesims scenery, I want to use them in XP12 if poss.

I am new to X-Plane. And I love it. Even though I was with MSFS since - ever. Still, it would be good to have ATC integrated with AI Traffic. I am missing those "Go Around" commands and following airplanes lazily leaving the runway.

Hi I am a new user to Flight Sim world and purchased recently realsimgear flight sim hardware. GTN750 and 650 bundle. I need to purchase the software from Reality XP but i cannot download the e-commerce and run the exe file as my PC indicates that it has a virus within the download file. it say's i need to trust the file, but i cannot see where or how to do this. I am stuck. I even tried to do it on another PC but same results. Anyone able to help ? Thanks Bryan

I don't see ATC mentioned on the website--isn't XP12 supposed to include a significant re-work of the ATC system? Has anyone tried XPUIPC to see if it is working with XP12? That might allow P2ATC or Radar Contact to work.

How to turn on Ice effect on windscreen? I've set temperature to minus 40 Celsius but nothing... Thanks

My humble conclusion after only 2 months of XP12. There is not an aeroplane in the sim that is not study level. Ignoring all the ways it is configured and programmed differently from the others the focus on realism is actually daunting but not unpleasant. Every aeroplane you wish to fly in simulation has to be understood in terms of its systems, its controls, how it handles on the ground, how it handles in the air and how to operate the automated systems (dependent upon type.) I have embaressed myself repeatedly in a variety of types. Even the humble C172 keeps you humble, I find I now have to dig for a lot of information about different aeroplanes - simply so …

I just reported this unhappy bug to LR. It is present in both versions 12.01r1 and 12.00 If you set the winds manually with either the GUI or the iOS instructor station, the winds at the surface are dominated by the upper (third) default wind layer. For example, sitting on the ramp at KALS, I set the three default wind layers like this: at 7589' (50' AGL) winds 280@4, at 15,000 ft MSL winds 280@25, at 25,000 ft MSL winds 280@57. What I expect from these settings is light winds on the ground, transitioning to a 57-knot westerly flow at flight level. Lo and behold, as soon as I applied the winds via the instructor station, the aircraft (Hotstart CL650) tipp…

p.51 Exterior inspection it says Hydraulic A AUX PUMP-ON= I did so Hold roll axis at full deflection? I am lost here! Is it maneuvering the joystick or buttons? How can I move hydraulic parts without electrical power??? Suggestions welcomed. Thank you Regards JP Reuland

I can set snowy conditions for the airports and terrain, but even at -7C, all precipitation falls as rain. I used to get snowfall in X-Plane 11. How can I get snowfall instead of rain?

Greetings, I've been using Xplane 11 for several years now and love it. I'm ready to take the plunge and install Xplane 12. I've watched several installation videos, but none say anything about deleting 11 before the upgrade. I really do not want to run two versions can someone please tell me if you have to uninstall 11 before installing 12? Thank you,
